seek

My child, if you accept my words and treasure up my commandments within you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; if you indeed cry out for insight, and raise your voice for understanding; if you seek it like silver, and search for it as for hidden treasures then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones. (Proverbs 2:1-8, NRSV)

Seek it like silver…

Go after the knowledge and wisdom that God will give like you go after your paycheck!

If we seek after God and His wisdom and treasure the commandments like they are hidden treasure, then He will be a shield for us!

So seek after God and the knowledge that He alone can give you and trust not in your own understanding. Allow your heart to be inclined to His wisdom, and filled with His Spirit!
